Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts. Set the chicken aside to allow the flavors to infuse while prepping the vegetables.
Wash and dice the zucchini, red bell peppers, red onion, and carrots into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.
Spread the vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, creating an even layer that leaves space for the chicken breasts.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing, if desired.
Serve the oregano chicken and roasted vegetables warm, garnished with fresh oregano sprigs and accompanied by a lemon wedge for an optional zesty finish.
